Harry the greyhound is the new HoudiniA cheeky rescue dog has been dubbed Harry the Houdini Hound after he discovered how to open the door of his pen and escape. Astonished staff at a rehoming centre in Darlington could barely believe it when they realised that Harold the greyhound could escape using his nose and paws. They had been so baffled by a series of escapes by the two-year-old that they took to spying on his pen. Sarah Shreeve, from Darlington Dog's Trust, said: "He was literally just looking around to make sure that no one was watching, then used his nose first of all to slide the bolt across, then put his two front paws to grip on the wire mesh and pulled it." There's a video of Harry escaping here.
